Figuring Out Future Time
|
I am struggling to come up with a way to figure out what date/time it will be after a varying amount of time.
Example output from MUD:
| Code: |
| Armageddon will arrive in 1d 12h 8m 58s |
I would like to #SUB in what date/time it will be, like this:
| Code: |
| Armageddon will arrive in 1d 12h 8m 58s (Oct 24th 7:45PM) |
..or something similar. Doesn't SEEM like it should be that difficult, but I'm probably over-thinking it. Is there an easy way to do this?
Thank you for your time. |

The current time on your computer's clock is accessible via the %time function, which can report just the minute or the second, etc. There's a few ways you can work with this, here's one that adds and carries (took a shortcut on the day because it's much more complicated if the timer crosses one month to the next - would have to consider how many days in the month, etc):
| Code: |
#TR {^(Armageddon will arrive in %s(%d)d (%d)h (%d)m (%d)s)} {
$day=%2
$hour=(%time(h)+%3)
$min=(%time(n)+%4)
$sec=(%time(s)+%5)
#IF ($sec>59) {$sec=($sec-60);$min=($min+1)}
#IF ($min>59) {$min=($min-60);$hour=($hour+1)}
#IF ($hour>23) {$hour=($hour-24);$day=($day+1)}
#SUB {%1, at %if($hour>12,($hour-12),$hour)~:%if($min<10,0)$min~:%if($sec<10,0)$sec %if($hour>12,pm,am) %if($day=1,tomorrow,$day days from now).}
